I think I had to trash four different permutations of pit bull before those finally disappeared. Then there's the fascinating spelling adventures that are the names Pistorious and Medea. There's another six to eight slots right there. I even had "door" on the list for awhile...lol.

With any current event, once we get beyond the initial facts of what happened, the DU Shiny Object Patrol* makes reading about it on DU a task, to put it mildly.
